Let is snow layout with Scrapberry's

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my first December Scrapberry's inspiration.

It's a winter season and when you get the most delicious new paper Winter collection you just go on and scrap your favorite Winter photos. Let's say that my photos are not from my home country as we don't even have a proper Winter here. So the photo is from our Italian Sky season a couple of years ago and yew, it was the best snow I've ever seen.

I used A Taste of Winter new , just released, collection and used the Paisley Frost  cardstock as the base. The snowflakes were added with light texture paste and a stencil all around the page. I added a kitchen square doily for the interest and then moved to 6*6'' same collection pad to layer the paper squares over the doily as shown.  

Most of the embellishing of this page was made with die cuts and patterned paper from the same collection.The title was die cut and added on the bottom of the photo.

The upper embellishment cluster was made with some Scrapberrys embellishment, silk ribbon bow, metal flair and Cards sentiments.

More die cut trees and snowflakes were added on the other side of the page.

I hope that you like my Winter page and this adorable Winter Scrapberry's collection.

Just because tag with TPD

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my second May post for Two Paper Divas.

Today I decided to make a totally fancy  golden tag using gold pigmented ink, gold embossing powder and the new, TPD stamp set named Sunshine and Smiles.

As you can see I stamped the flowers with both gold ink and gold heat embossing and then hand cut them to arrange this lovely flower cluster on the top of my tag.

The sentiment from TPD Banners#2  set was also gold stamped and gold heat embossed over the die cut tag.

I added  some gold die cuts, gold doily and gold patterned paper over the tag.

The life is just great in all gold! Just because it is!

I enter this tag   WOW! Embossing powders as I heat embossed each flower with their powders

Makin's Clay March tutorial post

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my Makin'sClay March tutorial.

March is the National Craft Month and to make a new jewelry  piece with Makin's Clay and tools, die, molds and  paints  sure counts as crafting. I decided to pick a few trends and to use them on this card piece. 

The recent trends are Rose quartz color of the year (it's just light link one);doilies are still trendy; tassels are back as a trend; glitter and gold are the most trendy items on this list. And as I believe, butterflies and flowers are trendy forever.

So here is my new Spring necklace and I made a tutorial for you , so you can duplicate with piece or to make a very similar one.

Step 1: Roll a piece of Makin's peach clay over  Makin’s Professional® Cutting Mat with a roller from Makin’s Professional®Roller and Cutters set® .

Make a sheet of Makin's Clay peach color using Makin’s Professional® Ultimate Clay Machine®  on setting 5. Let the sheet of clay be totally dry and then die cut it with My Favorite Things small Doily die. Not every delicate die works on clay sheet; this one works even with small intricate die cutting.

Step 2:
Cut the piece of dry clay sheet (the same color from the previous step) to make a hand made tassel. Ad you can see Tim Holtz scissors are just perfect to cut dry Makin's Clay sheet.

Step 3:

Pick two small molds  and use White Makin's Clay to cast a small flower and a small butterfly. I used Plaid molds and didn't take a photo of this step as it was obvious and easy to understand.

Let  your shapes to be totally dry and take them of the mold after a couple of hours. You don't need to wait for 24 hours to make the next step.

Step 4:

Paint the dry flower and butterfly with Colorarte Acrylic glaze paints and let it dry.

Makin's Clay is just a perfect pallet for those shiny paint  as you can see.

Step 5:

Pick a round metal golden base and glue the painted clay daisy flower inside the circle using any possible glaze medium that fit polymer clay. I used Gloss Glastique from Sweet Stamps, but any glaze medium for clay will work.Add some clear fine glitter over the glaze and around the flower.

Glue the painted butterfly with the same glaze over  the die cut clay doily, add some clear fine glitter around and let it dry.

Step 6:

Glue the clay doily over the back side of your metal golden base and now you have double sided clay pendant. 

Add the golden cap over the fringed cut clay to make a tassel. Arrange the base and the tassel as shown and add a black ribbon.

Enjoy you very trendy necklace!

Book shaped gift card holder with IBS

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new altered project.
This time I decided to make a folded gift card holder with Meg's Garden new Forgotten Meadows collection .I also added some of my most favorite Inspired by Stamping stamps here.
First I made the cover with old recycled chipboards and wrapped them with a 12*12'' paper from the new collection. Then I made the fancy cover with heat embossed chipboard and Meg's Garden flowers, trinkets, lace and doily.
I added the trinket on the top of the frame and glued a charm bird over it.
All paper flowers were inked around the edges with brown distress ink and I added a hand cut  from other paper flowers over the basic paper on the cover.

And now for the inside of this gift card holder.

I glued another paper- this time from the journal kit as the size was a good fit over the wrapped cover. Then I added some stamped butterflies and a stamped sentiment - the same doily from the cover is seen here as it was folded to the half.

I made the right " book shaped" side with 4 printers papers, folded into accordion and arranged to the deep frame.

Then one single envelope from the kit was glued as a base for the gift card/cash money gift to put inside.

 I used Inspired by Stamping Butterflies  set and stamped my beloved butterflies and the sentiment from this set on the left side back cover. 

You can see the folded paper  on this photo:

And some close up to butterflies here:

The last close- up to the card/cash envelope:

I hope you like my project and with Meg's Garden gorgeous Forgotten Meadows and Inspired by Stamping lovely stamps you can make a lot of similar projects/ mini books/ cards or scrapbooking pages.
